Using Polarizer For River Photos

Colours
A polarizing filter will give all colours a boost , not just primary hues. In this case , the effect is subtle but the filter has added punch , making the foliage appear more lush and enhancing the greens and browns on the stones.

Shutter Speed
Polarizers reduce the amount of light entering your camera , which makes for longer shutter speeds. This can be a problem , but in this particular instance the longer speed has a pictorial benefit , adding extra blur to the water.

Reflections
Glare for non-metallic surfaces is ubstantially reduced by a polarizer. In addition to reducing distracting highlights this also ensures you get more detail in key parts of your images, particularly those that include water

Photography Tips

When to Use UV Filter

In bright sunny conditions, UV light can add a blue/purple tinge to your pictures. It;s most obvious when shooting in show , at high altitudes or in sunny climes. Using a UV filter in these situations will get rid of this colour cast and may also boost image sharpness slightly by reducing the misty effect on distant subjects.
